The latest coronavirus figures and curbing greenhouse gas emissions were among the topics in Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson’s weekly news conference at City Hall on Monday.
According to the latest figures from the Florida Department of Health, the numbers continue to be down in the Pensacola area.
“It’s a nine percent positive rate for May 8; that follows 3.84, 3.51 and 4.0 before that,” said the mayor. “We’re seeing the same things in hospitalizations, and we continue to stay in that same range – around 30, up and back.”
Robinson continued to ask residents to take the necessary steps to protect themselves, adding that the main step is getting the needle in the arm.
